♠. Their suits are splitting poorly, no reason to get active.

By the way, LHO has at least 4 clubs and probably 5 on this auction.

I have a strong tendency to make passive leads against this sort of auction. There's a good chance the opponents just had an invitational sequence with two balanced hands (okay this is not 100% clear given their methods, but I think it's odds on).

So I'd go with a spade. At least partner is essentially marked with some length there, and it doesn't give anything away.

♣J. As likely to blow a trick as a spade but can be productive to our side on a couple layouts.

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

3NTE

Scoring: IMP


On a club lead, declarer can easily come to 9 tricks.

On a spade lead, the play is pretty interesting.
